The Art Of War

ca change de la m*** qui traine, des remixs quinzes milles fois remixé, on ne va pas dire innovation mais il y a vraiment quelque chose de nouveau, certains diront qu'il n'y a pas assez de stabilité ou qu'ils se sentent mal. mais c'est tout bonnement genial

If you're prepared to try something different to broaden your musical horizons then give this a go. Unusual, different, and enjoyable. Not for everyone, however

A sort of Deja Vu: Another surprisingly great French artist and another case of an album I didn't like at first replay, but after seasoning two years in the depths of desk drawer I've suddenly rediscovered it. And this was wise from my side, because I've recognized some unusual qualities. I've expected something like Grace Valhalla, but The Art of War is bit more aggressive and experimental than Grace's albums. The ten songs are arranged along ten verses of a famous Jules's quote from Pulp fiction (which he names “Ezekiel 17:25”). Just from the first sound in prophets we sink into great experimental sound carpets. No two pieces on this record are alike, this is a great mixture of different sounds and arranges -- but in the same mood. My favourites? nnosense(3) and campaign(6). Overall: great experiment on sound, maybe not as radical and nonconformist as Matmos, but definitely not a single-use pulp the commercial radio tries to feed us. I give eight stars: [++++++++--] -- A must-have on Your shelve.

Some thoughts...

* Nice repetition and sound.
* Some tracks sound too disoriented to me. Overall, they don't lessen the enjoyment very much.
* Goes well with dark nights in this non-winter
* "Indirect scenery" means that the album makes me think of strange-looking scenery, where you don't see straight forwards when looking straight ahead
* Favourite tracks: Prophets (good effects), Razedtab (nicely twisted), Destruct (GREAT effects)

Goood...
I love it ! But could you give me a link to find the lyrics for the "amerikal" sont ? (This is for my german teacher !)
